Easy Mutton (Lamb) Curry

Easy Mutton (Lamb) Curry

This curry is an easy way to make mutton for those who have just started cooking meat. It is a blend of a few spices and lamb meat. 

Ingredients.

1 kg mutton ( cut in to bite size pieces)

3 onions sliced

1/2 cup Garlic peeled

1/2 cup Coriander powder

2 tbsp Chilli powder (I use Kashmiri chilli powder)

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp chopped ginger

1/2 inch cinnamon

2-3 cloves

2-3 cardamom

1/2 tsp mace

1/2 tsp vinegar

handful of curry leaves

1-2 green chilies slit

3-4 tbsp oil/ghee (If the lamb has its own fat 2 tbsp)

water

salt 

Method

1. Clean the mutton and marinade with turmeric and vinegar

2. Dry Roast Garlic+Whole Spices (Cinnamon, Cardamom, Cloves, Mace) for 1 minute

3. Grind together Garlic+ Whole Spices along with Coriander powder and chilli powder, grind with very little water to get a smooth velvet paste.

4. In a pressure cooker or thick bottomed pan, add ghee and the onions, green chillies and curry leaves, saute till the onions are golden brown.

5. Add the mutton and cook for 2-3 mins on high heat.

6. Add the prepared masala and salt.

7. Pressure cook for 6-7 whistles or till the meat is tender

Serve with steamed rice or phulkas

Tips

* Amma would add 1 tsp raw papaya, this tenderizes the meat, I use vinegar

* For mutton fry just cook till the water evaporates.

* If you have frozen meat, thaw to room temperature

* If it turns out too spicy, add coconut milk when serving it will tone down the spice.

Enjoy!!!
